Hello:
Is there a plan for 9.7 to enable using the two aggregate function
as non-window function? i.e. enabling getting the first/last row
in single sql without using window features.
There is actually a C-extension for first()/last().
I am wondering if 9.7 would make them built-in function like max/min
The "distinct on" capability provides this for at least some use cases.
Given this is first I've even seen a gripe on this, and the window versions have existed for something like 6 years, I'd have to say this isn't high on anyone's radar.
